Isn’t this some shit. How many pong players does it take to figure this out.

I’m kind of thinking I was wrong initially. I think if it’s a 7.5 foot table with a 12 inch line, you are standing 8.5 ft away from the end of the table, so for an 8 footer, a 6 inch line should be correct.

Ok, haha. I think his original thnking of a 9 inch line behind each side is correct. If you take their 7.5ft table and put a 12 inch line behind each side that makes the two lines 9.5ft apart.

So if you take a WSOBP table which is 8ft. YOu would need to put a line 9 inches from both sides to make the lines 9.5ft apart. SO i am pretty sure that he was right originally

fact: they measure 12 inches back from a 7.5ft table
if a table is 7.5 feet long, and you measure 12 inches back, it becomes 8.5 feet
if a table is 8ft long, and you measure 6 inches back, it becomes 8.5 feet

the truth of the matter is……it may be 9.5 ft from line to line, but when u subtract ur opponents 12 inches (cuz your not shooting on those inches) its 8.5ft…….on an 8ft table it may be 9ft from line to line, but when u subtract ur opponents 6inches (cuz ur not shooting on those inches) its 8.5ft.
